Throughout history there has been a fascination with the supernatural, and the role of heavenly or celestial beings. Every religion has it’s spirit beings. Heavenly beings are mentioned over 260 times in the Bible. Today, this fascination is on television, in magazines and newspapers, in books, and endemic on the internet. The internet is ripe with articles, blogs, and videos all purporting to give a person full knowledge of who the angels are, and how to connect with them to obtain supernatural powers in an effort to overcome loneliness or disenchantment with their own self abilities or image. Scripture speaks of two types of angels: those who have always been faithful to Yahweh, and those who have declared their allegiance to Lucifer (Satan).
Premises and Characteristics of New Age Angelology
New Age teachings on angels is eclectic: it is taken from the Bible, Koran, Book of Mormon, Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha, and many other sources; all are used to form an amalgamated image and description. Myths and ancient teachings tell of genies, fairies, hybrids, and other supernatural beings. New Age teachings are fairly extensive regarding the job angels have. Angels, they say, help you make your image as you wish it to be: “Be All You Can Be” is their motto. Angels, they say, help you achieve unconditional self-love. All is love and sweetness: there is no condemnation, hell, or lake of fire. Angels, they say, are channels for entry to the spiritual realm: just get in touch with your spirit guide and all will be well with your soul and you will gain knowledge of the secret teachings. The new age is coming: the spirit is good but the material is bad.
Biblical Angelology and Faithful Angels
Scripture paints a very different picture of angels. Angels are Yahweh’s messengers whose role is to minister to Yahweh’s people as he commands them to do. There are the elect angels (1 Timothy 5:21), the angels of the churches (Revelation 2:1-3:18), the Cherubim (Genesis 3:22-24; Exodus 25:17- 20; Ezekiel 10:1-19), Seraphim (Isaiah 6:2-7), and Living Creatures (Ezekiel 1: 5-14; Revelation 4:6-11). Scripture also mentions two angels by name: Michael (Daniel 10:13, 10:21, & 12:1; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7) and Gabriel (Daniel 8:16, and 9:21; Luke 1:19 & 1:26).

Conclusions
Christians and non-Christians today are both confused about angels. The church and its leaders have not preached about angels despite a very concise Biblical understanding and teaching. The current interest in angels and the spiritual realm is a symptom of a search for new spirituality. Our main source for identity and information about spiritual matters should be in Yahweh’s Word, rather than in angels.
